Henan pig farmers cut soybean pulp consumption amid Sino-US tensions

ZHENGZHOU - Pig farmers in Central China's Henan province are reducing soybean pulp consumption in response to its rising price amid the trade conflict between China and the United States.

Ye Chuanlin is in charge of a company that specializes in producing pig feed in Henan, known for its large-scale pig industry.

In recent years, Ye's company has been focusing on developing pig feed formulas that contain a lower proportion of soybean pulp. The ongoing trade dispute propelled the company to use new formulas.
